## Resource

Retail sales surged in May with a 0.9% jump—better than expected and up from April’s 0.4%—thanks to warmer weather and lower gas prices. Strong gains were seen in clothing, home furnishings, and online shopping, though electronics and restaurants lagged. Despite rising prices and slow job growth, consumer spending remains resilient—keeping the economy humming. Meanwhile, a potential Iran peace deal could ease oil supply pressure, but shoppers may stick to habits that blend fuel and errands. The outlook? Still evolving, with big implications ahead.
